' The Observer has often called atteutton to the- importance of pur home market to all classes of our people.' ' The following gathered from official records will demonstrate that it is the purchasing capacity 'of on." peo ple that makes the home market In the United States the largest and best on earth, and tbatit is of vital importance to the far mers, merchants, mechanios and laborers that the national policy that has created a market, or rather rendered it possible, be maintained, c ' . , j "The sixteenth annual report 'of the Interstate Commerce Commission pre sents some oartously interesting tacts and figures. ' Not the least Is In the showing that local passenger travel- tor the year ending Jane DO. ,1904 has inoreeaed, while It Is otherwise with looal freight, the long haul show lng an inorease over the flgaru for the previous year. The number of tons, psr looomotlve. Increased , 77 pur oent with the ton miles Inoreaelng i U per cent. In passenger trsfDo each loco motive Is oredited with hauling 05.72 passengers, an iaeresae of 4,38 per cent, while the passenger miles in creased only 3.69 per cent with the hauls of freight pessengers made by th tnterurbani to be taken into con sideration, possibly, in explaining th reasons for falling off. Interstate commerce and psssennsr trefflo required 1,753,389 cars to ac comodate it, an increase of 113,304 over the previous . year . The. new oars were made up of 88,140 passenger cars, including sleeping oars, and 107, 681 freight cars of all classes and con dttion , with the combined traction healing power of the looomotlve ... VICE PRESIDENTS. ? Then seems to be a notion, quite prevalent among the peo ple, that the office or vice pres- 1 ident does not amount to mucn, that our vice presidents . are figureheads to the US Senate, and that really big : men do not desire the office. To modify that erroneous idea to some ex tent at least, the names of all the vice presidents , from . the foundation of the government, that is from 1789 when old John Adams, the first vice president qualified 'and ; entered upon the duties of that office to the pres ent time J There has been 26 vice presidents in all. ; t, John. Adams, Thomas Jeffer son, Aaron Burr, George Clin ton,"' Elbridge Gerry, Daniel D Thompkins, John C Calhoun, Martin Van Buren, Riohard M Johnson; John Tyler, George M Dallas, .

Hobart, Theodore Roosevelt, and Joseph Fry e. . , ,,: , Five . of . these . men became presidents, because of the death of ' the president, viz.

Of the five presidents- who died in office, two Harrison, Tayler died from sickness three were assasi riated viz Lincoln,.
